He did more than visit the website. He took it upon himself to "analyse" the crack, sniffing around, trying to find what vulnerabilities there were. He deserved it.
We have six machines with internal ATAPI zip drives, three external USB zip drives, and several parallel. The newest, one month, median 1 year, the oldest 2 years. These all sustain heavy usage, and not one has yet destroyed a zip disk.
Slow? IDE or USB zip drives are fine for me.... what I do not like is the 'caching' (about the only thing I can think of) where I can't eject the disk for about a minute after copying a reasonable sum of data. (i.e. the copy is finished, but eject just flashes a light at me for about a minute).
Allaire's HomeSite now includes PHP syntax highlighting, and third-arty packages to do Tag "Inspection". It's not debugging by any stretch, but it does a good start!
I don't think anyone thinks that. The issue is with people who whine about doing something they (in *most* cases) technically shouldn't, and being harangued about it.
Yeah, my ReelMagic MPEG Decoder card still has Win 2000 drivers listed as "Developing. Unknown ETA." which sucks arse.
And I can't use the 98/NT drivers either, without the system utterly shitting itself. (Safe mode not enough, I'm talking boot disk and ripping the driver files right out). Likewise with my SonicVortex 2 - which had some godawful beta install process (i.e. it wasn't a process, required you to hand delete files from Windows DLL cache etc, and still wasn't evenly remotely fully featured) - before Aureal went bankrupt and Videologic told everyone they were discontinuing driver development. Goddamn it.
This is Australia, so the law is different, but the answer is probably "not a hope". They are a credit provider (assuming it's not prepaid), so they have every right to check your credit status to know if you've had any previous problems paying bills etc.
Absolutely. You are a guest in someone's country, you are subject t their laws and punishments. All that outcry that someone shouldn't be caned because "that's not how he'd be 'punished' back home" (read 'probably not at all') is entirely unfonuded and self centred.
The Australian government issues brochures re travellers overseas, stating in no uncertain terms, "Although you are a Australian citizen, when you are in another country, you are subject to their laws in every way shape or form. The Australian Consulate will not be able to get you out of jail yadda yadda"
When I was at CMU.EDU, we had an irc server at one time. It's funny, for a period of time *.cmu.edu was banned from its *own* irc server. Go figure. Same deal with @home now.
When Monash University here in Melbourne AU had an EFnet server - yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au - it's users were banned between 9 and 5, and I think dialin users were banned 24/7, because the University tolerated it with the provision it didn't stop legitimate work. But that's my POV, I'm sure the exopers will correct me if I'm wrong:)
Better: ftp.linuxwarez.org was registered as 127.54.86.26 (random last three octets, but you get the idea) - it passes quick inspection much more easily
When MS started doing this, Netscape stomped all over IE2 and IE 3. IE4/5 is where MS picked up (but don't start me on the litany of IE5.5 bugs, I'd happily go back to IE5.0)

Going against the /. mentality is grounds for bitch-smacking, apparently.
If they seize your drugs, are you going to insist they leave you with the same amount you seized, until you're found guilty? Sheesh.
Except you're a twit. A clueless twit who is factually wrong. The US is NOT the highest per capita user of the `net. It ranks fourth in countries.
That's impressive, given that depending on resolution and monitor, you're limited to 75,85, or maybe a max of 100 fps
What? Are human eyes subject to Moore's Law too, now?
The phrase "rumor and baseless innuendo" comes to mind.

Pull your head out of your ass. When that document was created, it was automatically given copyright protections.
He's running Linux? How did you figure this out?

Then you shouldn't be creating that (personal) data at work, should you?

RedHat 7 is a first attempt?!?

I don't think you want to spend too much time on the streets of Marseilles at night. Not if you value your wallet, or your health.

Perhaps you should consider that NT4 is now at SP6a. Maybe that's been fixed?

I don't know... but I've used MSDN, and LinkExchange, and haven't seen those spams. I am getting sick of zzn.com though...
I'm thinking though, that Apple's practices in the past would lead any company to think rather strongly about entering that market space...
